We are in a similar size rig. A FW that big requires a lot more planning. Pulling into a gas station, restaurant, shopping area, tourist area or whatever requires a lot more planning. Google maps will become a good friend of yours in scoping things out beforehand.
Since parking and navigating tricky areas can be challenging you might find yourself with a mindset of "not stopping here, not stopping there, not stopping anywhere" and that is no fun. If I think we're approaching an interesting area I'll slow down and start looking for places I can park if my wife or kids holler out that they see a place that they want to stop at.
I have an older dually that works very well for me. In almost every one of my posts I encourage folks to look at getting exhaust brakes.
Good luck!
